...t (potentially non-smp without some later changes). But since I am not familiar enough with Arm I think I am stuck doing something wrong.

Hi, anyone to point me URL on initrd.img creating? I have custom kernel and want to create initrd.img for install media. mkinitrd /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.hrb -v -f create unusable file for install media. Thanks, David

However it is completely independent from the above solutions and can be used as a generic image creation tool too. It comes in two variants: * snf-image-creator: A user-friendly dialog-based program * snf-mkimage: A non-interactive command-line program Unlike Oz, it takes as input, media that represents a hard disk (a block device, an image file or the host system itself) with an installed OS on it. It snapshots the hard disk, performs various cleanup tasks on the snapshot (like virt-sysprep), shrinks the...

This patch set should make it easier to maintain PV-GRUB2 installations. The general idea is based on discussions I had with Xen developers (mainly Ian Jackson) at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in May 2011; though I never did manage to get the core port done and Vladimir beat me to that, I think the configuration approach we discussed there is still valid and useful. The idea here is that people

Hi I did the dd iso to my USB. all is fine. I can mount the second partition (which is not iso 9660) and edit the grub.cfg file. Question is what do I run after that so my new menu option appears ? grub2-install /dev/sdd Is that the correct command to get grub to notice my new file ? Assuming sdd is the USB disk of course. Thanks, jerry

...the kernel shipped in DVD installers for Slackware64-14.1 can boot on UEFI. By the way this is exactly same kernel that I shipped in the Slint USB installer that failed, and also with in the hybrid ISO images of the Slint installer, that ship an EFI bootloader built by Patrick Volkerding with grub-mkimage. So one more question: why can one boot with a GRUB EFI bootloader but not with the SYSLINUX bootloader, using the same kernel? More accurately, I know why: because of the aforementioned patch, but then, why is this test needed in SYSLINUX only? Best regards, Didier
